Kirinyaga Deputy Governor Peter Ndambiri has expressed concerns over the increasing road crashes caused by miraa vehicles in the region.

He lamented that six people have been crushed to death in the past six days and accused the police of failing enforce traffic rules.

Speaking on Saturday night at Ngurubani town during a fundraiser in aid of an ailing school head, Ms Perpetuah Nduhiu, the deputy governor told the County Police Commander Leah Kithei and the County Commissioner Jim Njoka to ensure traffic police perform their duties effectively.

"Residents are being killed every day by careless drivers transporting miraa to Nairobi from Meru and Mbeere. We shall not watch helplessly as our people continue perishing," he stated.
